Ricoh CX6 Digital Camera
Previous versions of the CX made a name for themselves as solid, compact point-and-shoot cameras with just enough extra photographic oomph to attract the more serious travelling snapper – with a justification for the slighter higher than average price tag. The CX6 continues the progress, while offering the same basic features of the CX5. These…

Panasonic Lumix DMC-GF3
Many photography enthusiasts want more than the basic do-it-all-for-you compact, but aren’t quite brave enough to launch into the complexities of a full-on DSLR. For some, it’s enough to add a selection of mode dials and increased manual options – but others want the flexibility that DSLRs allow with their interchangeable lenses. As a result,…
Samsung ST6500
Samsung’s new ST6500 is a digital compact camera that has been designed from scratch around its 7.6cm/3in touch screen. But that’s only part of the story: for another thing, it’s really rather dinky, measuring a sylph-like 102x57x19mm and weighing just 142g. In fact, the camera is so small that is uses a Micro-SD memory card…

To this end, Samsung has actually take a few steps back, taking away a lot of features to create what it claims is the ‘world’s smallest zoom camera’ – the ST30. The ST30 is an occasional…
Canon PowerShot A800
Bulkier than most digital compact cameras and with a child-proof look about it, Canon’s new PowerShot A800 is aimed at handbag amateurs and folk who are purely interested in cheap digital photography. The good news is that it meets that brief with aplomb – and more besides – though it certainly won’t suit everyone. Old-school,…
VistaQuest VQ15
Most people have seen a disposable, single-use film camera: a simple lens and film spools housed in a plastic case. The whole camera goes to the developer when you’ve taken your shots and the film’s developed. VistaQuest’s VQ15 is a similar idea, only it’s digital disposable. What’s it like?The VQ15 is a 35mm-sized plastic camera…
Olympus SP-610UZ
Olympus has recently release a spate of new digital cameras. We recently investigated the VG-130, which is essentially an entry-level model for those new to compact digitals, giving them plenty of features for less than £100. The SP-610UZ shares many of the same specifications as its younger sibling, but offers one major advantage: a massive…
